- In the video you'll find two guys from the workshop demonstrating the manual starting system on a restored Panther tank from the Second World War. This is to demonstrate how it would've been done in the field so viewers can appreciate the difficulties at the time as well as appreciate how far technology has come. Please note this isn't the only method to start the tank, the electric push start is demonstrated in my other video found here:

I have written a short descriptor below to provide some information on the tank present in this video for any viewer who isn't familier.
The Panzerkampfwagen V Panther was a Medium Tank used by the German Wehrmacht during World War 2. It entered service during 1943 and served through til the end of the war. Around 6000 were produced in all varients during it's service period. It was armed with a 75mm KwK42 L/70 gun, a formidable armament, and was protected by armour of varying thicknesses and angles, with the front hull being 80mm sloped at 55 degrees and the turret ranging from 100-110mm. It was powered by a Maybach HL 230 P30 V12 water cooled 600hp petrol engine which gave it a top road speed of 46kmh or about 29mph. It had a crew of 5 operating it.
The vehicle shown within this video was completed in the UK as part of a joint restoration project and now resides in The Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns, Queensland, Australia.

"Steal their crank."
"Sir, that's evil."
The Tank crew be like: "Fine... Electrical Emergency Engine Start Device it is!!!"
hey, if it works it works
Ethan disagrees
this is pristine
Thats against the geneva convention.
It’s crazy to see how tall those tanks were, I feel like other media makes them look a lot shorter.
They were made to be very imposing and intimidating on the battlefield, sending fear into enemy tankers but as we advanced in technology we realised that a shorter tank with a lower profile is actually much more combat effective than one that tries to intimidate others. Im not saying modern tanks arent massive beacause they are but if we had the same mentality as back then our moder tanks would be even bigger
@@nahbro104 you make no sense ... War tanks suppose to intimidate? How the f..you gonna carry on a heavy artillery In a small tank ? Yes light weight but vulnerable...panzer tiger...panzer leopard...huge steel demons almost impossible to penetrate doesn't matter what you shot to them ...war tanks aren't to intimidate they are made to eliminate resist and win the battle ...so yeah take a small tank to the battle field ...good luck
@@panzerwaffen2873 sir, intimidation tactics are always required for the battle
but smaller objects are just harder to spot and strike, so tanks became tinier in height overtime cuz if enemy spots a tank, they'll know about it and just use anti-tank measures (those exist btw) to take care of it
@@nahbro104 You don’t know what you are talking about, the German designers took account to the crews well being. So for example if a T34 was burning or shot the crew would have a less likely chance of surviving because the limited space would be extremely hard for them to get out in case of a fire or treating their wounds but also the shrapnel would reign more freely and their ammo would be more likely to hit. Otherwise the higher profiles and heavily armored Panther and Tiger, with also an honorable mention the American Sherman had all the same reason to be this tall, crew safety, firing speed.
No, the soldiers are actually small.
At least it builds friendships.
no homo
This tank has the power of friendship by its side. Thats how most anime protagonist wins
yes
Start off as strangers, crank themselves to friends.
Gayy
Everytime I see someone next to a panther I seem to forget how massive it is.
Kim Mathis your point being?
Kim Mathis massive but still one of the most deadly machines created

Fascinating. I visited the tank museum in Münster a few years back - my first time seeing world war II tanks up close and personal. The Panzer III, Panzer IV, Sherman and T-34 were all about the size I had expected them to be. The Panther and the King Tiger on the other hand… You know they’re gonna be big but standing next to them is really something else. Just enormous machines. The KV-1 is another surprisingly large tank. Have not seen one in the flesh but just seeing David Fletcher look like a hobbit next to one on Tank Chat #62 boggles the mind.
Panzermuseum is in "Munster" - must not be confused with "Münster". 🙂
To be honest, i never realized how big the panther is. That thing is huge!
Yea because of war of tanks

You know, I have never really appreciated how big of a tank the Panzer V is. That is a large vehicle.
It was relatively good in weight tho. At around 45tons.
The transmissions in these were fucked due to the designers having had a 30ton tank in mind. Due to design changes it went all the way up to 45tons 🥴 its common in German engineering and machinery (same with U-boats back then) to have a safety factor of 1.6. So it would run those 45tons, just not for very long.
Coupled with the time constraints it all had to go faster, quicker and dirtier. Some of the issues with these tanks were well known by the designers but they just didn’t have a choice 🤷🏼♂️ as using such large roadwheels was due to only poor quality rubber being available. So making smaller ones wouldn’t work out for them.
Not even mentioning ball bearings, as the factories got bombed non stop. Making for a lack of bearings and thus the well known issues with some DB6xx aircraft engines.
Overall it was a good and very capable tank, an opponent to be feared very much by enemy crews. But it was plagued by mechanical issues some of which were unavoidable 🤷🏼♂️

Am I the only one who started rocking back nd forth while watching this?
Imaging stalling this damn thing out in mid field as they're shooting at you, and you have to be the one to get out and crank it up again. Love the engine sound, just like an old big block.
That's what the backup electric start was for;)
Wasn't this for cold cranking the engine? I thought the electric starter was for warmer climate and when the engine was already hot.
@@Namtov Electric was not first choice. Electric was not reliable back then or strong at all, it was only when it was too dangerous to actually go outside to hand start. Hand starts were as a whole overall preferred as they were reliable at that point. If the tank stalled in a fight, the engine would be more than hot enough for the electric to give it a kick to restart it. If that failed, they had to get out or just sit there as most of the actual fighting systems in german tanks had manual backups, assuming they even had electric systems in them in the first place
For emergency Starts they Had e Starter but they were Dangerous because batteries and cables could get on fire

Inertia starter for anyone wondering. Basically a gigantic flywheel you spin over by hand, then the inertia is used to spin the engine over.
Ya I see it!! Like some planes very cool. First part reference to die hard.
why cant it have electric starter instead? like in normal engine ?
@@jovanmagyaya8329 it has an electric starter BTW, the hand crank serves as a backup and redundancy, you need to have those when your battery dies out on you while being chased by the enemy.
@@jovanmagyaya8329 It does have electric start, but this was the primary and preferred method. Battery and electric motor technology wasn’t all that great back then so having electric start as the primary method wasn’t practical for an engine this size
Thanks for mentioning it. Was just about to ask "what's with the whining... Sounds like a flywheel"... And of course, they couldn't actually turn over an engine of that size by hand to a sufficient RPM to have it start, so i was expecting some sort of intermediate way of delivering power to it...
One of the most terrifying yet amazing sounds to hear on a battlefield-the power of that Maybach engine!

If this was made by VW Group it would have push button start inside and the day after the basic warranty runs out it malfunctions and costs $600 at the VW dealer to fix.
German industry: starting up a 70years old tank at first try
Let's be honest, this is a Panther, it probably broke down 2 minutes later.
@Jack the Gestapo yep
@Jack the Gestapo but it was never reliable per se. This could also be a not final Panther as the less reliable ones are the ones that were more likely to be left behind/not fighting.
Then again the argument could be made that the same breakdowns would be more likely to be destroyed by the crew or scare passing enemies. Then the working ones may be caught with the crew abandoning them or surrendering without damage. A surprising amount of Tigers and Panthers were abandoned from smoke shells covering them. Not just White Phosphorus but normal smoke too (probably heard it could be white phosphorus) I was told it was a huge/scary fire hazard

For those whom wondered. they were actually spinning up a energy storage flywheel to which then they engage it with the engine.
The later models didn't have this method of starting, instead newer tanks were started with compressed air, being the air was injected into each cylinder in perfect timing with the correct stroke.

As far as I know, this was just the backup starting system, the main starter was electric.
I think they do this just for show...
If they only start it every 3-6 months, the batteries would be flat
I think so too... would be a total pain if you have to go do that every time you stop it or it stalls!
if not I could see not ever shutting the engine off as being a common practice!
Nope e Starter was for backup. IT was too Dangerous to start with batteries because of catching fire. Only in activ Combat IT was used
They are spinning a giant flywheel which uses the momentum to crank the engine over. That lever he clicked after cranking it engages the crankshaft and starts it.

It's the manual start for the German tank ^^

That engine sound would make grandpa give a thumbs up in his grave.
I love flywheel starter mechanisms. An innovation that has been around almost as long as engines themselves.
I can imagine it can't possibly be efficient to haul one around everywhere
@@cantseewhatcantbeseen4485 you think it'd be more efficient to haul around a starter motor and power source?
@@hashbrown777 nowadays yes, back when these things were built, not so much.
@@cantseewhatcantbeseen4485 What if the flywheel was somehow used as energy storage during normal operation, would that offset the weight?
@@Pablencjone Probably not if the starter motor and battery was also somehow used as energy storage during normal operation (like in a Toyota Prius style hybrid setup)
I don’t think a lot of people know just how massive these machines were
Are* , they still exist
if you have 100.000 angry Russians coming very fast in your direction, you will start it in a second!
Soviets.
They’re not angry
They’re just tired
А толку? Лучше кушайте цианид, это не настолько мучительно
I am russian , I no Like tanks , I was in soviet army( 88-90 у.) - breadcutter !!! Fuck all wars .
0:35 this engine sounds so great
0:17 "Mmm, Hans, you smell so gut..."
"Stop it, Kurt. Das gay".
"I zon't care, Hans. You have a gut smell."
Good guide 10/10 would reccomend now I can finally start mein panzer straight into die vaterland!
And now lets start the other 37 Panthers. Hurry up, we leave in 30 minutes
Wouldn’t the other 37 crews each start their own tank?
And they called this Medium Tank at its time?!
Wait until you see what they call a rat and mouse.
The Germans classified tanks by gun size, while the Allies classified them by weight. So to the allies the panther was a heavy tank but to the Germans it was a medium tank.
The Soviets considered it a heavy tank
It's really on par with most heavy tank of other countries if you consider the weight.

That was waaaaay more fascinating than i was expecting 😅
Driver: we stalled again!
Commander:
Okay everyone draw straws.
